Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) Profile 1 by Trace Elements | 36 Elements

Discover the mineral blueprint of your health. The Profile 1 Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis by Trace Elements Inc. tests for 36 mineral elements and delivers a 2-page bar graph lab report showing your mineral levels, heavy metals, and key ratios — all for only $125 (no doctor's signature required). Add a personalized consultation or written report for deeper interpretation and a complete supplement & dietary protocol.

Performed by Trace Elements Inc., a federally licensed clinical laboratory and leading worldwide specialist in hair tissue mineral analysis since 1984. Evenbetternow® has been in partnership with Trace Elements since 2005. (Note: You cannot order a hair test directly from Trace Elements lab.)

💡 Recommendation: We strongly urge first-time testers to choose the 1-hour consultation — there’s a lot of information to cover, especially if you’re new to HTMA interpretation. The Profile 1 lab report does not include a computer-generated interpretation or dietary recommendations (those are included with Profile 2), which is why a personalized consultation or written report makes a significant difference.

Why Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis?

Unlike standard blood tests, HTMA reveals cellular-level trends that impact:

• ✅ Energy & metabolism — identify your metabolic type (fast or slow oxidizer)
• ✅ Stress & adrenal function — mineral patterns reveal adrenal stress and burnout
• ✅ Hormonal balance — mineral ratios correlate with hormonal health
• ✅ Detoxification capacity — assess your body’s ability to clear toxins
• ✅ Heavy metal toxicity — 7 toxic metals measured with reference ranges

A surprising number of people diagnosed with chronic health conditions actually have toxic heavy metal overload or essential mineral deficiencies. HTMA gives you the data to address these at the root level.

Why Trace Elements Lab?

Unlike some labs, Trace Elements does not wash the hair — washing removes loosely bound minerals and can reduce readings by 50% or more. Their process uses ICP-Mass Spectrometry with precise temperature-controlled microwave/acid digestion, ensuring extremely accurate results from a properly obtained sample. View QA/QC methods

🤰 A Note for Pregnant & Nursing Mothers

Mineral balancing during pregnancy is important — up to 10% of a mother’s stored minerals are lost during pregnancy, and more during breastfeeding. However, the approach during pregnancy and nursing focuses on supporting the body rather than addressing toxicities, since detoxification can pass toxins in utero or through breast milk. Testing while pregnant or nursing is beneficial, but significant toxicity protocols should wait until after nursing has ceased.

❓ FAQ

Can I do a hair test if I color my hair? Yes, if your hair color is chemical-based and contains zero minerals. However, Grecian Formula and Henna contain lead acetate or other heavy metals and will make your test invalid. Bleach can artificially affect calcium levels. View all FAQs →
